Teenager Arrested for Sarcastic Comment Over Online Video Game

Saturday, June 29, 2013 18:10

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

18 year old Ohioan Justin Carter was arrested and charged with terroristic threats because of what his father calls a sarcastic comment he made in a argument over facebook with a fellow League of Legends player. Justin is facing 8 years behind bars.

League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game that averages over 12 million players worldwide per day.

Carters comment came as a result of in game controversy.

“Someone had said something to the effect of ‘Oh you’re insane, you’re crazy, you’re messed up in the head,’ to which he replied ‘Oh yeah, I’m real messed up in the head, I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,’” recalled Justin’s dad Jack.

“The next two lines were lol and jk.”

A women in Canada noticed the comment, tracked down Carters address and notified police.

Justin’s parents have created a petition for the release of their son who is now jailed. The petition argues that their sons first amendment was violated and that anti-terrorism laws are jailing innocent people.

In a similar case, former marine Brandon Raub was detained for ‘anti-government’ posts that he made over face book last year.

There are plenty other examples of arrest’s made over posting made on social media:

A Methuen Teen’s Facebook Status Has Kept Him in Jail for Three Weeks

Oregon Teen, Posts Facebook Status About Drunk Driving, Gets Arrested

Anti-terrorism laws are taking away the common sense, innocent until proven guilty principle and throwing it in the trash.

Justin Carter, by simply exercising his rights to speak freely, is now a criminal.

If the NSA spying revelation’s weren’t enough to get you to disconnect from social media platforms such as facebook, this case and those that are linked above should certainly spark consideration.

This situation highlights how the freedom on speech is no more in America.
